Congratulations on the release.
These release notes raise two groups of questions:
Garvan, you said eariler that 'the next stable release' would split the
backend from the frontend to make the backend usable on Firefox/Android.
Did that happen? If so, what new WebAPIs are now available on Fennec? On
FirefoxOS, I need to access:
navigator.geolocation (already available in Fennec)
navigator.mozMobileConnection
navigator.mozWifiManager
but the last two require elevated permissions, so much so that the app
must be hand installed by individual users. Will these API be available?
If not, will the functionality be available at another location? Can you
tie in permissions to the Android permission system? If so, will that
imply that Fennec itself will need access to telephony and wifi at
install time? Thanks for clarification.
Also, I wonder about the caching of tiles since I will eventually need
to duplicate this functionality on FirefoxOS. Is the 'OsmDroid' part of
MozStumbler shared with other apps on the device? Does it only cache
tiles or can one download a zone before going out into the field? If you
can download, how do you share that with other apps? I imagine this will
have to be implemented as a shared 'MozActivity' on FirefoxOS but I can
already see that the tile storage system is going to raise many issues
so your experience would be helpful.
cheers,
